Q&A: What has been done to the design of buildings to reduce damage and injury to earthquake prone areas?

Question by CJ: What has been done to the design of buildings to reduce damage and injury to earthquake prone areas?

Many people live in earthquake areas. What has been done to the design of buildings to minimize damage and injury. Any answers would be appreciated . Thanks

One of the simplest adaptations is to build sturdy buildings out of wood, rather than brick or stone. Wooden buildings can naturally flex more to dampen the oscillations associated with an earthquake, whereas a brick structure would be more prone to crumble.

There are high-tech solutions too, employed in, for example, tall buildings in cities. Large masses with some degree of constrained movement can help dampen the motion of an earthquake. Alternatively or additionally, there may be measures taken to construct building that are partially decoupled from the ground (eg, on rollers), so that if an earthquake occurs, only a fraction of its energy is transferred into the building.

On a related note, one of my favourite examples of construction around tectonic or seismic events is the Alyeska Pipeline in Alaska. Where the pipeline crosses the Denali fault, it’s built on rails, so that if there is any fault offset (such as there was in the 2004 Denali Earthquake), the pipeline will slide and escape serious damage.

Q&A: Good morning. What should be done about all those defective products we receive from China?

Question by Still Beautifully Conservative: Good morning. What should be done about all those defective products we receive from China?

With the recent recalls from the Mattel Corporation of their toys and other things, should we boycott them?

Or demand Mattel (or any other company for that matter) to keep a closer eye on how their toys and products are produced in China?

Or demand that they start producing their products here in the US and we, the consumer, pay the higher price for them?

All thoughts on this matter are gratefully appreciated.
